  • The Nursing Shortage in America Today
    By some experts' estimates, there will be a shortage of nearly 350,000 nurses (RNs) by the year 2020. And while this is significantly lower than earlier estimates, this is still not good news.

    It doesn't matter if you are single or married, or whether or not you have children. Every person in any profession has to learn how to cope with the stresses of their job as well as balance a family and social life. For people in the medical field, this can be especially trying. People in need of medical care don't stick to a schedule. As a nurse, you aren't always able to work Monday through Friday until 5:00 pm each evening.
  • Finding a Scholarship for Nursing School
    When you're ready to start your nursing career, you will need to go to school to get the proper training.

    When you're a nurse, you can often feel like you're on your feet for hours at a time - and you probably are. Whether you're moving from patient bed to patient bed, or from exam room to exam room, you're constantly putting stress and weight on your feet throughout the day.

  • Patient Perspectives - Does Wearing A White Lab Coat Affect How You Are Perceived?
    There's nothing more intimidating for a patient than to see an unknown medical professional walk into the room.
